Are you bored of constant unreal/anope networks?

I have been using Anope on all my networks and haven't had any trouble with it at all, and I have used it with both Bahamut & Unreal and no trouble there.

I have tried IrcServices too but I like Anope better cause of its features and cause its stable enough after my meaning.

Why do people feel so irritated by Unreal/Anope networks? If you don't like them, don't visit them! Smile

Besides, not every Unreal/Anope network is the same. Each one is ran by different IRCops, with different rules, and different channels. Saying there's too many Unreal/Anope networks is like saying there's too many Windows machines.. it may be true, but it's not BOTHERING anyone..

P.S. This isn't meant as flame to anyone, just speaking my mind.

Oh I tell you what I am tired of, I am tired of this constant Unreal/Anope threads. People use what they like so let them use it.

So, to me, what you're saying is that you've never heard of anything else? Wink

"It's reliable"
So's virtually every other mainstream IRCd. From bahamut, hybrid, Unreal, ratbox, csircd, InspIRCd (ok, quasi-mainstream, but still..).

"It's functions are incredible"
Any in particular? I can guarentee that there are other IRCds out there with the same features. Some might even do it better, who knows.

"Lots of excellent commands"
Again, just about every other ircd has the same or equivilant features, sometimes more, sometimes less (for valid reasons). As an example, I believe bahamut provides a spamfilter of sorts, I know InspIRCd and ShadowIRCd do.

"etc"
Very informative Wink

w00t - why do people use windows over linux?

w00t · Posted: Jun 04, 2005 4:19am Post subject:

Now this is a question... I don't really know I should answer, but I will regardless. Note that this will be a bit of an over-simplification.

They use it because it's popular.
They use it because it's easy to use and understand (I for one know that double-clicking on setup.exe is easier than installing from source, or even using apt-get or emerge).
They use it because it's "compatible" (ie: a standard).

Now, Unreal has the first, it's popular. Quite a bit of it's growth comes from word-of-mouth, for example, one network running it, getting an ircop, who splits and uses unreal because they know it. There. We've just gotten another Unreal user.

It has the second mainly because it's associated with the first, and also because of it's high-quality documentation. It should be noted that really the only two ircds (that i've seen) that provide good documentation are Unreal and InspIRCd.

As for compatible, we're talking about ircds here Wink

. In terms of third party applications, like Windows, because of it's compatibility, just about every third-party application has support for Unreal.

Hope this helped Wink

I knew the answer, i just wanted to hear you say it :p

It is slightly different for anope i think.

Also, i think unreal is popular because of 2 and 3, i don't think 2 and 3 happened because of 1.

w00t · Posted: Jun 05, 2005 6:35am Post subject:

Three definatly did. Popularity/compatibility is there because it's huge - just look at the ircd versions page.

As for anope, there has yet to be a real competitor against you guys. Andrew just doesn't hype ircservices + goes for a more informed type of person, Epona is dead now.. Auspice just plain sucks Razz

Go figure Smile

Epona has seen some activity in the the last few months (i believe) and ircservices is probably more popular than anope, but then, it's been round longer than us.

What happened to your services?
